Want to help but can’t commit long term or to monthly meetings? Try a committee! Committees allow you to share your specific skills and interests and meet only as needed to get the task done. Please email FrontierPTOPresident@gmail.com if you’d like to sign up for a committee!
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Committee: Work with Frontier’s DEI committee to create an equitable and inclusive community that reflects our students and families. Specifically, infuse events with relevant cultural inputs reflective of Frontier’s community; provide monthly resources to staff and student newscasts. Good for folks who are eager to recognize and celebrate our heritage spectrum.
WatchDog Parent Committee: Help Frontier keep an eye on our students! This group was active years ago and was called WatchDog Dads. We would like to restart the group by welcoming interested parents to provide supervision on the playgrounds in the mornings from 7:30-7:40 ensuring students are playing safely. Volunteers can sign up to help weekly or monthly. This is perfect for parents who stay outside until their children enter the building.
Teacher Appreciation Committee: Support the PTO’s efforts to show Frontier’s teachers how much they are valued. Help plan and set up teacher dinner during conferences; put together gifts for holidays; plan and carry out Teacher Appreciation Week in May. A great outlet for anyone who likes to give gifts, decorate, and share kudos.
If you have other ideas for committees, we hope you’ll share them: FrontierPTOPresident@gmail.com
It’s baaaaack!! Aurora Frontier’s Fun Run will take place on October 11th!! We hope to raise $50 per student and will use the funds for Field Trips! Last year, Field Trips were supported with ESSR/Covid relief funds. Now that those funds are gone, we need help getting our students out into the world (those buses are expensive!).
To get to the Fun Run website and donation page click here or on the flyer.
You are encouraged to cheer our students on and to volunteer! If you are interested in volunteering, please use this Sign Up Genius.

So you buy spirit wear and go to Falcon Family Fun Nights, but where does your money go? So far this year, your generosity has allowed PTO to fund: two upcoming field trips, one for first grade and one for third grade; school supplies for Frontier’s Interventionists and Specials teachers (all of whom do not have a homeroom class to rely upon); and a delicious dinner for Frontier’s teachers served during conferences September 26, 2023.
Supplies Purchased:
Kleenex, dry erase markers and erasers, bean bag filler, ceiling light covers, fidget toys, wireless headphones, ziplock storage bags, disinfecting wipes, small bottles of water, chair fidget bands, highlighters, pencil grips, and motivational notes. All of these supplies are used to support Frontier’s students.
Conference Dinner:
Soups and breadsticks catered by Olive Garden, salad, dressing, fruit tray, and M&M cookies.
Take a night off from cooking and join us at Dion’s for Falcon Family Fun Night on October 3rd! A percentage of all sales between 5p-8p will go to help teachers with classroom supplies! Be sure to have your students mention their teacher’s name. The teacher with the most mentions wins a pizza party for the whole class!
**Be on the lookout for Freddy the Falcon!**
